摘要：This issue of the Electronic Journal of Knowledge Managem ent (EJKM) presents a selection of the best articles from two API conferences (ECKM 2014 and ICICKM 2014). The Editors have based the selection of articles on evaluations and recommendations received from colleagues who acted as conference track chairs. Special issues from conferences are important because they highlight how the process of presenting research at conferences and peer review continues to be an important process for developing and disseminating research (Guthrie et al., 2015). Together, the eight articles that comprise this special issue represent research in the fields of knowledge management (KM) and intellectual capital (IC) that is internationally current and significant. The articles include empirical and conceptual articles addressing a variety of topics. With respect to empirical articles, they address core issues such as knowledge enabling roles of networks (Still et al., 2015; Tkachenko et al., 2015) and communities (Bedford et al., 2015). Others go beyond core concepts and extend the research to impacts of KM practices (Stankevice, 2015) and IC on performance (Wee and Chua, 2015). All selected conceptual articles move the field forward by suggesting novel models of KM on which to base future research (Castaneda et al., 2015; Handzic and Durmic, 2015) and guide better practice (Kohl et al., 2015).
